Description
Melt faces. Shred speakers. That's the motto behind the Electro-Harmonix Hell Melter, a killer stompbox that lives up to its name. Inspired by the heavy metal tones of bands like Entombed and My Bloody Valentine, the Hell Melter is tailored for players who crave crushing distortion with enhanced control and modern refinement.
What sets the Hell Melter apart is its upgraded control layout, designed to unlock a wide range of aggressive tones. The pedal's Gain and Level knobs allow you to dial in everything from a gritty crunch to a massive wall of distortion. The active EQ section includes a parametric midrange, giving players the power to cut or boost with surgeon-like precision. Additionally, a Dry level control blends in your clean signal, adding thickness and clarity.
For even greater tonal versatility, the Hell Melter offers two modes: NORMAL for the iconic chainsaw tone, and BURN for a more open, less compressed clipping option with boosted headroom. The Boost footswitch provides an adjustable input and volume boost, delivering extra gain and output at the press of a button - ideal for heating things up during solos or high-impact moments.
Equipped with a noise gate to keep your tone tight and controlled, the Electro-Harmonix Hell Melter brings a brutal, adaptable distortion experience to any pedalboard. With its ability to summon searing highs, crushing lows, and everything in between, this pedal is a must-have for players looking to push the boundaries of modern distortion.
